Current Energy Drink Consumers

Monster Rehab Consumers “I don’t normally like energy drinks but this tastes good, it’s different than I expected.” “My kid drinks green all the time, but I don’t like the taste. This is definitely one I would drink.”

“A non carbonated Monster finally, this is perfect for the summer heat” “Tea + Lemonade is like an Arnold Palmer, awesome!” “Wow, this doesn’t even taste like a Monster.” “This will go perfect with my sweet tea vodka!” We did note one negative comment from a soldier whose photograph appears on the next page.
